What happened
Cameron Gover was killed in an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police shooting on April 2, 2016. The national Fatal Force database identifies the Indianapolis Police Department and date of his death but does not independently establish the circumstances prompting officers' involvement, what they reported seeing immediately before shooting, whether evidence corroborated those accounts or any subsequent prosecutor review. A substantive case history will require contemporaneous local news, an agency statement and investigative disposition. In the absence of such material, no weapon allegation, officer exoneration or criminal finding is asserted. The limited record preserves Gover's identity and fatal encounter.
